It can be viewed as favorable or unfavorable, depending on whether a person receives favors or opportunities, or is denied them. Discrimination can be defined as "any denial of equal access to public opportunity." Such discrimination on the basis of race, creed, color, or national origin is common even though there are signs that it is on the decrease. It is essentially one indivisible problem, and it is widespread and pervasive.One of the most pervasive forms of discrimination in the United

We may not be aware of the discrimination around us, but if we stop and pay attention we would be able to recognize it.The story began before we were even born. At the time plantation owners felt it was profitable to have slave labor. Although it was morally wrong, money drives people to do things that aren't right.

Q1)Two theoretical causes of discrimination in society are prejudice and stereotyping. Prejudice is a belief about individuals or groups of people, which is generally derogatory, untrue and irrational. It is also usually based on stereotypes. These beliefs can be triggered by the colour of someone's skin but this is not always the case. It is believed that people who hold prejudiced views are unlikely to change. People only change their discriminatory attitudes through education and gaining more positive information and experiences. Stereotyping occurs when people or groups get categorised and put into types. This is also called labelling, Labels then become fixed and are normally a

Discrimination involves action toward individuals on the basis of their group membership; Baron and Byrne (1994) defined discrimination as prejudice in action. Discrimination can take a very overt form (e.g., refusal to hire women into certain jobs), but in many instances, gender discrimination involves the degree to which the workplace is open to versus resistant to the participation of women. Although many discussions of gender discrimination have focused on the ways managers and supervisors treat men and women, gender discrimination could involve managers, co-workers, subordinates, clients, or customers.

The Federal Government in 1964 enacted Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which profoundly changed working life in the United States. Title VII prohibits discrimination in employment based on race, color, sex, national origin and religion. This statute provides a strong mechanism for minorities and women to challenge impediments that severely hinder equal opportunities throughout society and working life in this country. Most, if not all, states have adopted similar civil rights legislation since or before the enactment of Title VII.Three years later, in 1967, the federal government stepped in to address discriminatory practices with respect to older workers by passing the Age

In some way or another we have all experienced discrimination not only through race but also sex, a disability, religion and so on. How can we determine if discrimination is right in areas other than race? If we define discrimination from the Webster’s dictionary it can be the treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against, a person or thing based on the group, class, or category to which that person belongs. In my opinion I would simply say that “you can’t judge a book by its cover” and that is what we tend to do when we face discrimination.

The issue of workplace discrimination resulting from disability has not received nearly as much attention in the psychological literature as other forms of discrimination. There are many reasons for this lack of attention ranging from the recency of the Americans with Disabilities Act (1990) compared to other civil rights legislation, to problems with defining what actually constitutes a disability in both the legal and behavioral sense. However, it is particularly imperative that we work to better understand disability discrimination in the workplace given what little change there has been in the employment status of persons with disabilities since the advent of the ADA (Wells, 2001

Age discrimination has its root in history. From generation to generation, people have paid a great deal of attention to age as an important part of the recruiting process. It refers to the rejection of opportunities on the basis of age. In the workplace, these rejections can be seen when the managers consider age as a significant factor to make decisions about recruitment, promotion and dismissal.

Once we reach the age where we can make logical conscious decisions on our own, we should be treated like any other adult. Age discrimination is predominant because the majority of this world's inhabitants have unfair and old-fashion ideas or beliefs with respect to two age groups in particular.
